# Summary of MCP Tools Extension

## Overview
Extended CRISP-T MCP server tools from 51 to 63 tools by adding comprehensive data analysis, cleaning, and processing capabilities that fully leverage the csv.py module.

## Changes Made

### 1. Extended DataFrame Operations Module (dataframe_operations.py)
**Before**: 3 tools (get_df_columns, get_df_row_count, get_df_row)
**After**: 8 tools
**New Tools**:
- `get_df_shape` - Get DataFrame dimensions (rows × columns)
- `mark_missing` - Remove rows with empty strings or NaN values
- `mark_duplicates` - Remove duplicate rows  
- `restore_df` - Restore DataFrame to original state
- `drop_na` - Remove all rows with any NA values

### 2. Extended Column Operations Module (column_operations.py)
**Before**: 8 tools
**After**: 10 tools
**New Tools**:
- `one_hot_encode_strings_in_df` - Batch encode object columns with cardinality filtering
- `one_hot_encode_all_columns` - Convert all values to boolean for association rules mining

### 3. Created Data Analysis Module (data_analysis.py) - NEW
**Tools**: 5 new tools for statistical analysis
- `compute_correlation` - Compute correlation matrix (Pearson/Kendall/Spearman methods)
- `find_significant_correlations` - Find and rank significant correlations above threshold
- `execute_query` - Execute dynamic pandas queries (filter, groupby, sort operations)
- `get_column_statistics` - Get comprehensive statistical summary for columns
- `get_unique_values_summary` - Analyze unique values, cardinality, and distributions

- `read_xy` - Internal ML preparation, handled by ML tools
- `prepare_data` - Internal pipeline, components exposed individually

## Testing

### Test Updates
1. **test_tool_modules.py**:
   - Updated `test_dataframe_operations_module()` to expect 8 tools
   - Updated `test_column_operations_module()` to expect 10 tools
   - Added `test_data_analysis_module()` to validate 5 new tools
   - Updated `test_tools_init_module()` to expect 54+ tools

### Test Validation
All tests follow existing patterns and validate:
- Tool count accuracy
- Tool name presence
- Module structure integrity
- Handler function existence

## Documentation

### 1. ADVANCED_DATA_ANALYSIS.md (10KB)
Comprehensive guide with 8 workflow examples:
1. Data Quality Assessment
2. Correlation Analysis
3. Dynamic Data Queries
4. Advanced Feature Engineering
5. Association Rules Mining
6. Handling Missing Data
7. Mixed-Methods Research
8. Iterative Data Exploration

Each workflow includes:
- Step-by-step instructions
- Example commands
- Expected outputs
- Best practices
- Integration tips

### 2. REFACTORING.md (Updated)
- Added data_analysis module to directory layout
- Updated tool counts for extended modules
- Marked new/extended modules with ⭐
- Renumbered tool categories (now 12 instead of 11)

## Integration with Existing Features

The new tools complement existing CRISP-T capabilities:

### Text Analysis Integration
- Use `find_significant_correlations()` after sentiment analysis
- Filter data with `execute_query()` then run topic modeling
- Clean data before text-numeric linking

### ML Analysis Integration
- Use `get_column_statistics()` before feature selection
- Use `compute_correlation()` to detect multicollinearity
- Use `one_hot_encode_strings_in_df()` for batch preprocessing

### Temporal Analysis Integration
- Use `execute_query()` to filter time periods
- Use `find_significant_correlations()` to detect trends

### Mixed-Methods Research
- Use `get_unique_values_summary()` to understand patterns
- Use `compute_correlation()` to validate qualitative themes
- Link findings with `add_relationship()`
